About this episode
Paul Messina shares his journey from public safety to becoming a VA loan specialist and discusses the importance of commitment and self-awareness in the mortgage industry.
Episode 247 Host: Marc Summers (AIME’s Founding President) Guest: Paul Messina (VA Loan Specialist at Canopy Mortgage) This week’s episode features Paul Messina, a former paramedic, firefighter, police detective, and military veteran who found his way into the mortgage industry after a chance meeting with a loan officer who challenged him to “do his effing job.” Paul shares his remarkable journey from healthcare and public safety to becoming a VA loan specialist, and how attending Ascent, AIME’s VIP retreat in Puerto Rico, gave him a new perspective on purpose, legacy, and the importance of self awareness. Key Takeaways: Why the VA loan is one of the most underutilized benefits available to veterans. The importance of committing fully to a career in mortgages and not treating it as a part time endeavor. Why being a good human and putting good karma into the world leads to sustainable business growth. The value of embracing technology while avoiding shiny object syndrome. Golden Nugget: “Just be a good human. Whatever way you choose to serve your fellow man, just be a good human.” Subscribe to Broker to Broker on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple…
